After the first week of class I was beginning to wonder what I was getting into with this course. I have never felt like I was very good at math and was worried about this class before we even started, by the end of the first week I was a little confused over what was going on. Not only is this course different from any math class I have ever taken it is also different from any of the methods courses I am taking right now. In this course I am learning more on how to teach students and being shown a technique that will help students in any future class that I may have understand math better than if I just gave them answers, which is how I was taught.
Even though I have never felt that math was a strong suit I have never struggled as much as I am now. I am beginning to realize that since this is such a new idea and approach to math that it is going to take me a little while to fully comprehend what is happening. If I keep an open mind and be willing to struggle with the concepts, like Pick’s Theorem, then I think that I will have a great knowledge base to start teaching with. This course will help me provide instruction that will benefit students.
